Jin Shu was nothing more than a 'white moonlight' whose spiritual power was destroyed in a cultivation novel. The men who once loved and protected her became infatuated with a junior sister...
There are significant differences between the city and the town.
Bicycles are everywhere, and cars are not uncommon. The commercial street is lined with shops selling all kinds of things.
Linjiang City is a major city in the country with a developed industry and a prosperous life for its citizens. Therefore, the streets are full of facilities such as dance halls, cinemas, and game arcades. Jin Shu only strolled around the most bustling street and saw no fewer than fifteen clothing stores.
She inquired about the price of the street-front shops, which were more expensive than houses, but smaller in size, so the total cost would still be around 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
There weren't many shops available for rent or sale; either the locations were bad or the prices were too high. In the end, Jin Shu found one she liked. It was located right across the street from her house. The shop had an interior area of over 40 square meters, was already decorated, and was reasonably priced at 20,000 yuan.
Since she found the seller appealing, Jin Shu didn't hesitate and immediately found the seller. After some negotiation, they finally agreed on a price of 19,000 yuan.
During the conversation, Jin Shu didn't really haggle over the price; she didn't know how. She just casually asked if the price could be lowered, and the seller quoted 19,000.
The other person was an elderly man, dressed in a white suit and bow tie, looking quite fashionable.
He said he was going to live in the United States with his son, so he was selling all his assets.
Because they were in a hurry, they weren't asking for a high price; everything was negotiable, as long as they could pay immediately.
There aren't many people who can immediately come up with 20,000 yuan, and those who want bank loans have all been rejected by the elderly.
"My flight is next week, and I need to get the money before then. Bank loans are so slow, and those people are so shrewd. I don't like doing business with them."
You're great; as long as you can give me everything at once, we can discuss anything.
The old man was very generous in giving Jin Shu a small courtyard after receiving the money.
"It's right behind the shop, over thirty square meters. I can't sell it on its own, and people aren't willing to spend extra money to sell it as part of a package deal. So I thought, whoever is willing to pay upfront, I'll be willing to do the same and just give it to them!"
After saying that, the old man looked at Jin Shu with a smile.
"You have a good face, I like you. You are a very lucky person. Meeting me is a blessing for you."
"The old man is right, thank you very much."
Jin Shu definitely got a good deal. After taking the shop, she looked around the backyard and found that it was much larger than thirty square meters. In fact, it was bigger than the front shop in every nook and cranny. Jin Shu calculated that there was more than enough room to put a few sewing machines in there.
Most importantly, the largest fabric factory in the city was right behind the courtyard. In an era when everyone still bought fabric and made their own clothes, the raw material fabric factory did a very good business.
Now that the raw materials and shops are in place, the business license application for the company in Jin Baosheng's name is also progressing smoothly. The next day, Xiao Wang also came to the city and helped sell clothes while Jin Shu was at school.
"Now everyone in the village is asking when the factory will start operating."
"The style of the winter clothes has been finalized soon, and we can start production as soon as the raw materials arrive."
"Then why are you still running a clothing store in the city? Now everyone wholesales directly to clothing factories, why would you still want to sell clothes yourself?"
Jin Shu nodded.
"We're definitely going to open the Golden Crane Clothing Store."
Working with garment factories only resulted in her becoming a processing plant, where all the clothes she produced had to be labeled with other people's trademarks, and as the designer, she could only earn the cost price of the clothes.
These are all examples of people picking up scraps by following others, assuming that garment factories won't lower prices.
To achieve long-term development, one still needs to have their own enterprise.
Jin Shu had done her research. The country was now vigorously developing the private economy, and she believed that private enterprises would soon spring up everywhere. Before that, she had to make her fortune.
Although Xiao Wang didn't understand, she knew that following Jin Shu was the right thing to do.
However, there was one question she couldn't resist asking in the end.
"You're already earning so much, is there any need for you to continue your studies?"
Jin Shu remained calm, busy with her work without turning her head.
"There's no need for it, I just wanted to experience it."
At this time, academic qualifications are indeed not that important. In this era of rapid economic development, only those who seize opportunities can succeed.
But Jin Shu had never been to school, and she wanted to experience it for herself.
Moreover, the original owner's wish was to go to university, so since he had taken over the body, he had to help the owner fulfill that wish.
Her words left Xiao Wang silent for a long time, but he finally chose to shut up and quietly continue working.
Shops aren't usually decorated like that, but Jin Shu had her own ideas. She prepared two huge pieces of white fabric, on which she sewed many lifelike little flowers and grasses, as well as cute little people playing on the grass.
The two pieces of fabric were hung on the left and right walls of the shop. In an instant, Xiao Wang felt as if she were suddenly in a grassland, and the fresh and bright atmosphere made her feel much better.
"That's a brilliant idea of yours. Hanging it up like that instantly elevates the entire shop's look."
"Yes, I learned it from books."
What book?
"Visual Arts".
"..."
Xiao Wang glanced at Jin Shu and asked a thought-provoking question.
"Excuse me, are there any books in this world that you haven't read?"
"There are so many, I can't possibly read them all."
"You have to do design work, study, and set up a shop and company every day. How do you still find the time to read so many books and learn so much knowledge?"
Jin Shu looked at her and replied seriously.
"I can do the work of two of your days in one."
"I didn't expect you to be able to joke."
If you don't believe me, fine.
Jin Shu is extremely self-disciplined and makes the most of every second. In addition, she has twice as much time as others. So, the time she actually uses each day is probably three or four times that of some lazy ordinary people.
Jin Shu used to think that human life was very short, like a moth or a mayfly. She went deep into the human world to understand why humans had to struggle to survive in such a short life.
Now she understands.
In this life, it's enough to truly do one or two things well.
She knew that her energy was limited, so she focused all her efforts on the goals she wanted.
Xiao Wang always gets infected.
The way she looked at Jin Shu was almost like she was looking up to a god.
"You are truly the most amazing person I have ever met."
"You flatter me."
I feel incredibly lucky to have met you.
"Shut up and get to work."
Jin Shu lowered her head, her ears inexplicably feeling hot.
These people are really easily moved, just like Zhou Yanzhu, they often look at me with tears welling up in their eyes.
With Xiao Wang's help, the shop was cleaned up in just one day.
The backyard is quite spacious, which is perfect for Xiao Wang to stay in and make it convenient to manage the shop.
Before the business license was issued, Jin Shu had the factory produce a batch of goods. Yu Han was currently overseeing the factory, and Zhou Yanzhu would be returning soon, so Jin Shu didn't need to worry about anything.
